Flash getURL links work when SWF is embedded to the Director?

I have a simple test platform that said no, the links no longer work. All this works?

My test bench includes two buttons in Flash, you get a PDF from a remote server, the other opens a PDF locally on my hard drive.

When played from the Flash drive, the local link works fine, the remote link looks like it would work if I was willing to change my security settings and restart.

When they are incorporated into the Director both links are inactive.

And, even if it is not terribly relevant, when the SWF file is read remotely via a browser, the remote link works

Your Flash .swf is expected to be housed in a HTML doc, and so a getURL function is tried to reach out to the browser. When you import your .swf in a film by the Director, the film's Director takes the place of the browser window. If your function does not in a browser. This is compounded if you play the .swf from a Director projector because there is no immediately available browser.

There is a simple solution. You can use the getURL me, string function in Director to intercept the url.

So if your Flash animation has something like this:

------------
myButton.onRelease = function() {}
getURL ("www.disney.com", _blank);
}
------------

Then in your Director movie, write a behavior something like this:

----------------
thisSprite property

on beginSprite me
thisSprite = me.spriteNum
end

on getURL me, link, target
gotoNetPage link, target
end
-------------

Then screw the Flash sprite this behavior.

  • My windows Explorer stops working when I try to use the file menu on a file.

    My windows Explorer stops working when I try to use the file menu on a file. If a file is selected in a folder that windows Explorer will be display Windows Explorer has stopped working the message box. This occurs only if a file is already selected and you click on the file option in the menu bar.

  • I created show and hide features in InDesign I want to export to interactive PDF format. These functions work when seen in Acrobat on the desktop, but not on iPad/Tablet - why?

    I created show and hide features in InDesign I want to export to interactive PDF format. These functions work when seen in Acrobat on the desktop, but not on iPad/Tablet - why?

    Why? Most likely because the PDF Viewer on the Tablet is too stupid to deal with show/hide functionality.

    You could try PDF Expert of Readdle on qpdf Notes Pro on Android and iOS devices.

    Depending on how the show/hide was created during the export of InDesign, it can work in viewers. Otherwise, you will need to open PDF files in Acrobat and edit features show/hide something more digests of PDF device viewers.

    BTW, you will encounter the same issues with the PDF display components in web browsers.

    I hope this can help.

  • Content of the swf flash does not work when uploaded

    Hello world. I'm having a problem. When I download some website that has integrated flash content in Dreamweaver It does not appear in my browser. It does not appear in Firefox 3, but some of the Flash appears in Internet Explorer. I have downloaded the necessary files with the correct underlining & hyphens in it but still does not appear. I also downloaded the js file in a separate scripts folder & in the same location as the file htm on the server. But nothing works. The biggest problem I face is that native built-in Dreamweaver Flash Slide show viewer reveals at all in any browser once downloaded to my respective server. It appears, however, when I saw locally. I tried to download every possible Firefox flash plugin I can think & nothing. I tried to post my code on this website http://validator.w3.org/ but I do not understand what I have to do to change. The site is this place http://www.petfilms.us/Applications.htm. It's very frustrating for me. I'm banging my head against the wall, trying to figure out this thing but no luck however. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE! Thank you.

    I decided to recreate the slideshow in Flash from scratch instead of recreate my entire webpage from scratch. It solved my problem in like 2 seconds.

  • My Apple password does not work when I try to download the Flash Player

    I tried again and again download Flash Player on my Mac OS 10.9.5 and when I try to open the installation program, asked me my password and it does not work. However, I used the password to enter this community, and it worked. I use Chrome as my browser. Any help to achieve this will be highly appreciated.

    Hello Gail Rooney,

    I'm not 100% sure if you are referring to your account admin on your Mac, if you were not made me know that I would love to help with anything that anyone else. Anyway, if you need to reset your password for your admin account, so you can leave Flash Player just install, follow these steps and you should be able to reset the password of the admin account. You need to restart your computer. Then, press the command and R keys at the same time when the gray screen appears and hold them until you see the Apple logo. A low loading bar will appear under the logo. Then wait for the recovery mode to load click the utilities tab in the menu bar, select Terminal, type resetpassword, and press ENTER. Close the Terminal window and behind it, you will find the password reset utility. Everything you have to do now is to select the user account you want to reset, enter a new password or leave the field empty and click Save. Then reboot again and sign in to your account admin with the password you just put.

  • Flash does not work when the screens are deployed

    I use the latest version of Flash CC and now when I try to draw using my tablet in flash it causes traces from brush hang the canvas, it only works if I duplicate screens. How can I fix it?

    He is a current and documented issue that flash continues to have. I do not remember the answer (if found), but I suggest you do a search in the forums here, the question at least once a week.

  • Flash Player stops working when the computer is restarted. Why? It is always enabled.

    Why is Flash Player stops after restarting the computer to work? I have download Flash Player several times a day. Norton is the cause? When I re - download, I get a message that I have not sufficient user privileges, but it solves the problem, anyway!

    Unlocker is my go - to for fixing the files in this State.  It is probably easier to do it manually: Unlocker - free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com

    That said, the permissions being stripped on files is a symptom, not a cause.  You might get away with the lock and blowing these files and things will work normally after that.

    The point I want to drive home, it is that it would be smart to take advantage of the opportunity to save something essential.  You could just as easily be the first signs of catastrophic disk failure.  Having lost my share of data that has not been backed up, I always count these early warnings as gifts and take seriously at this point.  There are many good solutions free/good market online (especially if you don't have a lot of data that you really care), as well as traditional approaches to removable disk.

  • Impossible to apply the swf police embedded in the text in text layout

    Hello

    We have created a SWF for a police given (e.g., Calibri.swf) that contains all the styles (Regular, Italic, Bold, BoldItalic).

    We have created an xml that lists the name of the font and the path of the swf file. The names of xml is loaded into a drop-down list box in the application.

    When we try to apply the font selected in a text under text layout, it does the same. It sets the font to the font "Times" by default.

    Here is a snippet of code to apply the font for the text:

    private void selectFont(fontXML:XML):void {}
    var path: String = fontXML.@source;
    var myEvent:IEventDispatcher = styleManager.loadStyleDeclarations (FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.url.substring (0, FlexGl obals.topLevelApplication.url.lastIndexOf("/"))+"/"+path);)
    myEvent.addEventListener (StyleEvent.COMPLETE, {function(event:StyleEvent):void}
    var editManager:EditManager = textFlow.interactionManager as EditManager;
    var itextLayout:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
    itextLayout.fontSize = 20;
    var fontName:String = fontXML.@name;
    Alert.Show (FontName);
    itextLayout.fontFamily = fontName;
    Alert.Show ("itext =" + itextLayout.fontFamily);
    editManager.applyFormat (itextLayout, itextLayout, itextLayout);
    var flowLeafElement:FlowElement = textFlow.findLeaf (editManager.anchorPosition) as element FlowElement.
    editManager.changeStyleName (fontName, flowLeafElement);
    });
    }

    Can someone please let us know what is missing in the implementation?

    Thanks in advance.

    Vikram

    Did you put the fontLookup in ITextLayoutFormat? It must be set to search for the police as an embedded policy. I think that, by default, it will consider it as a device font.

  • Why the function "move to new window" that I used to use does not work when I right click on the tab more?

    It was when I right click on the tab in Firefox I could use the option 'Move to the new window'. Now when I go down to this option, it seems it will work, but nothing happens. The other day I changed some options in Firefox, but I don't remember changing anything that sounded as if it would have this effect, and now I can't find all the options that seem to fix. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello Beorn, probably the problem is an extension that is not working properly. Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you

  • my memory card for my digital camera does not work when I put it in the memory card slot

    I use vista and a emachine El 1200-07w. It worked last week I just stuck the memory card and a menu pops up saying what are the options I could do (for example, open the folder, etc.) now, when I put the memory card in nothing happens, but if the memory card is in when the computer is turned on, then he will say new hardware detected but it can't find a driver for it. Why is it does not work now, but was last week and how the hell can solve this problem. I have no software for my digital camera, I always just went out the memory card it stuck in the memory card slot and it was very good. It's just a less expensive memory card (Lexar) I have a 2 GB and 128 MB and will no longer work. Thanks for any help!

    Hi, I hope you can follow this. Remove the storage card from the computer, then go to control panel
    then
    Device Manager
    Expand portable devices
    the type of memory card slots should be listed if your type is a yellow triangle in it,
